my store closed. it's sad.
This real "country store" in my neighborhood closed forever today.

It was a mom and pop operation. That's so much better than 7/11, in my opinion.

They've been open for 30 something years. I've been going there at least 11 or twelve.

I think it's because of a new road. Looks like they could work around the store.

2. It's happening all over the rural Dakotas.
It's a sad story, really. Hopefully North Dakota will embrace wind power and you'll be able to find a new source of mom-and-pop shopping. Good luck, cheers.

4. I just meant that it's happening in the Dakotas...
...and I hope you find another nice store to shop in. I'm assuming it was a place you shopped at, right??

I'm getting really tired, so I can't communicate well in my typing, I guess. I should probably turn in...
